Matthew Hodgson
Matthew is project lead for Matrix.org, an open standard for secure decentralised communication. His day job is at New Vector, the startup that hires most of the core Matrix dev team and supports the open source reference implementations of Matrix. Matthew spends his life obsessing about making Matrix a ubiquitous comms layer for the web, whilst creating open source communication apps which outperform the centralised proprietary alternatives and giving users back complete control over their communication.
